Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson says the 2026 season will “probably” be his last in the NFL. Multiple outlets report that Johnson made the comment while discussing his future as he approaches his 14th season.
Sources describe Johnson, 36, as a long-time Eagles mainstay who has been weighing off-field considerations. CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports attribute his decision to personal responsibilities, including family needs and the health of his parents, as factors pulling him away from football. Other coverage frames his comments as potentially retirement-bound, with Fox Sports and the Winnipeg Free Press reporting similar “probably” language rather than a definitive announcement.
Yahoo Sports also adds context from the lead-up to the season, noting that Johnson missed several days of training camp for personal reasons before returning. Across the reports, Johnson’s statement is consistent: he views 2026 as his likely final year, though he does not present a formal, guaranteed retirement date.
